Scene: Kids are tussling on the sofa. B tends the fire while I sit typing. He meanders over to see what I'm doing. (I'm on Facebook.) He stands and reads this status of one of my friends while I skim the rest of the page:
I've marked that I like this.B (pleased as punch) So! I'm a wonderful husband, am I?
Me: *stabbing a last few keys* Nah. You're kind of crappy, actually.
B *reproachfully* Really?
Me: (shrugs) Well, I guess you're okay....
B (peeks at me out of the corner of his eye) Oh, really?
Me: Well, I can't tell you you're great. Your head will blow up!
B: Fair enough. (Kisses the top of my head and wanders away)

From all you say of him, he sounds wonderful, but I agree, you don't want them getting complacent.
Thanks! I got that from my sister-in-law. My husband is great, though I'm sure that I don't tell him enough.
I think you handled that well. Imagine the mess you'd have had on your hands if his head had blown up from too much praise.
Love those little slice-of-life stories you give us.

I think it is part of a wife's role to be a SA, if not the husband doesn't stay on their toes.
Too funny,

Sounds alot like my house. She and I will not give in. The day we do, look out....
Fast thinking! I have one of those too...afraid that his head wouldn't fit through the door type if he gets a compliment. ;)
LOL I totally get that :)
Fellow Maritimer stopping by. I didn't copy and paste... :P
